As someone who refuses to accept that print is dead (or dying?), I love books – reading books, holding books, turning book pages – and, of course, enjoying books’ cover art. Therefore, I found this article on 20 Classic Novels’ First Covers to be pretty interesting. Loving the worn, iconic look of these covers. Now, we just need a follow up article with the recent editions’ cover art.

Hey everyone! I’m back! Sorry for my absence, but I had the amazing opportunity to travel down to Florida over the Thanksgiving holiday and soak up some sun on the beach. And, my laptop just really isn’t beach compatible. But I’m back in Pittsburgh, and it seems I’m now being punished for my lack of doing anything productive over the last 7 days with this miserable rain – which, inherently, keeps me indoors and on the computer. But on the bright side, that means I’m here blogging to you!

However, dreams of the sun are still circling in my brain, so I feel I must mention this amazing restaurant I patronized while down south, The Office. I bring it up, because I feel it should be recommended for inclusion in Art of the Menu for it’s amazing menu design and branding efforts. Sadly, I didn’t get photographs of the actual menu, but you can get a sense of what I’m talking about by checking out their website.

Since I no longer get Showtime, I’m (very sadly) missing out on this season’s Dexter. However, these posters will just have to fulfill my Dexter fix until I can commandeer my parents’ couch, TV, and On-Demand. From Ty Mattson, these silkscreens are visually stunning and Dexter appropriate.

These videos from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant about their friend, Karl Pilkington, kill me. You can also see their new show on the Discovery Channel, An Idiot Abroad – awesome! Watch, and try not to laugh!
